Loved for his kindness to his own troops was known as Uncle Bobs, they used to say if he was in charge, no problem because Bobs your Uncle!

The only real reference I could find is: The 'Bob's your uncle' expression originates from A. J. Balfour's promotion to Chief Secretary for Ireland by his uncle (Robert) Lord Salisbury.

Like the term "cocktail" there are lots of stories to explain how the name for the popular (and nice) drink came about.
